Project Summary

GeekyAnts delivered a complete digital transformation for a helicopter company by building mobile (iOS/Android) apps, a web app, a backend, and a BI/reporting system. The platform (AirOps) is used daily by every employee and replaced a paper-based operations system for a 60+ aircraft operation. The solution reduced errors, costs, and labor, and enabled the company to scale its operations more efficiently.

Key Challenges

Replace a purely paper-based operations system for a 60+ aircraft operation
Reduce expensive, labour-intensive processes that were prone to errors
Enable the company to scale operations efficiently
Ensure company-wide adoption so every employee uses the new system daily

Project Deliverables

iOS and Android mobile applications built with Flutter
Web application built with React
Backend system using Aqueduct (Dart) and PostgreSQL
BI/Reporting system using JSReport

Project Solution

GeekyAnts implemented a full-stack digital platform: Flutter-based iOS and Android apps, a React web app, a backend built with Aqueduct (Dart) and PostgreSQL, and a BI/reporting system using JSReport. They staffed and scaled to a stable six-person team (technical lead, mobile developers, backend developer, web developer, and BI developer) and followed Agile processes with regular standups and weekly sprints to deliver features to spec.

Project Outcome

The entire platform (all four systems) was completed in four months
The solution is used by every employee to run company operations
Errors, costs, and labor were significantly reduced
Features were delivered on time and with minimal bugs
